neighbors really thil;.ss that even this audience
is doomed to eternal torment The clergy
men Of the town are so kind and courteous
to me, but do so little to convert me, that
always suspect they really think the purga-
torlal fires will be but brief even in my case,
and my eternal punishment win be no worse
than lamenting my heretical sermons, or
perhaps listening to more orthodox ones
There, is a growing careleksness In the
churches about old creeds and growing de-
sire to get rid of them and go without DR..
Parker said the other day, with O hint at An
dover, that a creed should be revised every
five years, instead of re signed; and he SO
condemned the very idea OF creeds
in world of advancing thought, that
he said he would not sign one
that his own hand had written. This
growing charity we must commend. Even
those who hold the old doctrine in all its hor-
rOrs we must not condemn, for they are in 1t,
as Dr. Holmes said, "as sincere and con-
scientous as the most Jealous officers Of the
lnquisition." But we of course repudiate the
doctrine in the name of religion itself; for a
God who should punish the heathen for
what they could not helm would be so much
wickeder than the worst man that we could
not worship Him. The heather themselves
teach far better God than that. They teach
us more charity, too, and an old Chinese sage
wrote: "Never will / seek private individual
salvation, but everywhere strive for the uni
versal redemption of every creature through
out all worlds. >,

AT THE THEATERS.

The favorite Irish character, W. J.
Seaman, appears at the Grand opera
house every evening this week, with a
company of excellent merit Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
''Shanena Lawn" will be given, and
Irish MinstrelS'' the remainder of the
week.
The Lady of Lyons" from Bulwer's
romantic play of that name, will be
given at the Pence opera house the first
half of the week, ''Risen From the
Dead" the latter part.
The new Peoples theater, which was
begun May %, will be opened this even
ing with the "Danites" and Miss Marie
Wellesley as leading lady. The exer-
cises will be very attractive and the
house is expected to be packed to the
roof.
Among the many attractions at the
Dime museum this week is the human
faced chicken, the educated pig, an
Arabian princess, Nala Dalmajante, the
snake charmer, and Stanley's Congo
men. In the theater are Will 81 Bar
rows celebrities and Coburg d Shaw's
novelty stars.
Burt Stanley's Congress of Stars will
be at the COmique this week and give

OF A SUNDAY NIGHT.
Enthusiastic murphy
Club and Salvation ARMY

Enthusiastic Meetings-.-Murph
Club and Salvation Army.
The usual Sunday meeting at the
Murphy club was uncOmmOnly well at
tended last night to hear Mrs. Russell,
lady officially connected with the West
hotel, end unOfficially connected with a
good deal of the charitable and temper
ance movements in the city. Her ad-
dress is pleasant and her style of Ian
guage very interesting, conveying, as it
does, her meaning in short, sparkling
sentences. Mrs. Russell related the
history of Jerry McCauley, the
reformed convict. How when he came
out of Jail he kept from his bad COM
panions of old, became converted to
Christ and was started in the mission in
New York that became so famous.
Jerry McCauley died last year, and the
wealthy, the philanthropic, the poor and
needy, in fact all classes and conditions
of men, followed and mourned
him to the grave. His wife
continues the good work commenced
by Jerry, and it would always
remain monument to prince among
men, man dragged from the gutter
and vice. to be great among his fellows,
by the simple strength of the Christian,
and faith and trust in a fOrgiving
Saviour. Mrs. Russell was loudly ap-
plauded at the conclusion of her inter
esting little address.
~
The Salvation Army barracks were
crowded te excess last night and
a good deal of horse play was
indulged in by a lot OF kids,
and older men also, who ought to have
known better. No matter how absurd
some of the methods used by the Saliva
tionists may appear to those present.th
fact that their services are conducted
by ladies should alone insure decent be-
havlOr on the part of the audience.
Those who laugh are empty-headed
people, anyway, who would giggle at
anything, solemn or Sedate
The Salvation Army is for
the poor and humble. In
that respect they follow the great hu-
manity of Christ, who said, ''Come unto
me all ye who are weary and heavy
laden and | will give you rest" The
soldiers, and workers are kept on rigor-
Gus rules. They have to work untir-
ingly and constantly; they receive no
pay; they are only allowed to eat two
meals a day, and. to ensure no dallying
with friends, the English are sent to this
country among strangers, ,and vice versa.
Last night very large number of en-
thuslastlc beings prOfeSsed to receive
Christ amid all the ultra fervency of
praying, singing and shouting of the
Salvation soldiers. The music rendered
was better than usual and the meeting,
as whole, seemed to be enjoyed by all
present.

MADE HIS BLUFF GOOD.
Coffee John" Eats Five Hundred
Oysters on Wager.

Coffee John,'' the proprietor of
Nicollet avenue restaurant, whose hust-
ling proclivities have gained him large
trade, in spite of his brief residence in
Minneapolis, must be something of a
gormandizer. Saturday night he got
into discussion with a party of his
customers as to how many oysters a
man could eat. He made the astonish-
ing statement that he believed he could
eat five hundred oysters and not expe-
rience any i'll effects. DIR. Darman,
who is firm believer in the
theory that seeing is beliveing,
Immediately offered to wager John $40
that he could not carry out his boast.
Although he had eaten a hearty meal
an hour before, Coffee John" made his
bluff good, and, putting up his money,
sat down at table. The first 15O oys-
terS he ate from the shell as rapidly as
they could be opened and served to him.
Then he tackled some "selects" in bulk,
and finished up by eating about 200
steamed oysters. He remarked at the
finish that his appetite was not very
good that evening, and that he really
felt hungry when through.

WANT 1T SUPPRESSED.
Three Alleged Confidence Men
Arrested by the Police, Who
Want the Matter Kept Quiet.

The police made three arrests yester-
day afternoon, which in all probability
will lead to sensational developments
and the breaking up of a gang of conf
dence men who have been working this
section quite successfully, if all reports
arc TO be believed. For some days past
reports have been coming in to police
hea dQuarters that various business men
about town have been made the victims
of ''sharks." who have secured large
sums OF money. Early yesterday after
noon two members of the department
placed under arrest James nj. jackson,
the proprietor OF the new "San francisco
Dollar Store" on Washington avenue;
Harry Harrington, man who has been
in Minneapolis off and on for two or
three years, and Harry Jones, about
thirty-fonr. years of age, a resident of
tied off to the First precinct station
and placed i'll separate cells. The Off
GERS refused to state what the men were
wanted for, but it was learned early in
the evening that they were arrested on
suspicion of being the men who have
swindled four well-knOwn gentlemen in
Minneapolis out of large sums. What
scheme was worked could not
be learned. The police were
exceedingly anxious that the morning
papers make no mention of the arrests,
as the lends of justice would be de-
feated thereby" as it would give the
friends of the men an opportunity to
buy off the prosecuting witnesses. This
request appeared to be somewhat pc
culiar, inasmuch as the three men in the
station spent great part of the evening
III summoning district messenger boys
and sending out messages to their
friends. The charge against them OH
the jailor's books is "swindling." They
will be arraigned in the municipal
court to-day, and sensation is prom
